       8 . The game center piece of  claim 5  wherein the mechanical switch is a toggle switch.  
   
   
       9 . The game center piece of  claim 5  wherein the mechanical switch is a rocker switch.  
   
   
       10 . A game center piece for organizing dominoes comprising: 
 a hub having a top, a bottom, a side, a center port enabled to encompass a domino, and a plurality of outer ports, each outer port enabled to dock a domino portion;    a signaling means having at least a play and no play position located on the top of the hub generally adjacent to an outer port; and    a powering means.    
   
   
       11 . The game center piece of  claim 10  wherein the signaling means is an electrical switch.  
   
   
       12 . The game center piece of  claim 11  wherein the electrical switch is a push button light emitting diode comprising a lighted on position and a non-lighted off position.  
   
   
       13 . The game center piece of  claim 11  wherein the electrical switch is enabled to turn a single colored light emitting diode on or off.  
   
   
       14 . The game center piece of  claim 11  wherein the electrical switch is a push button two color light emitting diode switch wherein the first position lighting one color and the second position lighting another color.  
   
   
       15 . The game center piece of  claim 14  wherein the first color is red.  
   
   
       16 . The game center piece of  claim 14  wherein the second color is green.  
   
   
       17 . The game center piece of  claim 11  wherein the electrical switch is enabled to turn a first single colored light emitting diode on and a second single color light emitting diode off.  
   
   
       18 . The game center piece of  claim 10  wherein the powering means is a battery.  
   
   
       19 . A game center piece for organizing dominoes comprising:
